Thank you to everyone at TeamMindBMX

In mid-September TeamMindBMX invited us to represent Mind at their Charity Race Day.  The end of season fundraiser was held at Bournemouth BMX Club.  Around 100 riders – of all ages – took part in various races and the ‘King of Dirt’ competition. Dorset Mind had a stall at the event and helped raise awareness about mental health, which was one of the main aims of the day. The Mayor of Bournemouth opened the races and everyone had a great time.  The sun also shone for us, on what was truly the last warm weekend of the year. There were food stalls, a bouncy castle and a BMX-themed raffle.  We met many lovely people, and provided information about who we are and how we help people with mental health problems.

A HUGE thank you to TeamMindBMX…

John Twitchen, the event organiser, recently made a very generous donation of £1,100 raised on the day.  We’d like to thank JT and TeamMindBMX – this money will go directly towards establishing our Youth Services in Dorset. Not only this, we’re looking forward to working with the team again in the future and helping to spread the word! See here for TeamMindBMX’s Facebook page – they are also on Twitter. Save]]>
